The Grading Contract Let.

Aho VIauthS SOhtEhCG AtLs
Information reaches the New Era to-day that
the contract for the grading Of the Minnesota
d Dakota railroad has been let to Job Voak,
of Massachusetts, the survey as made last
month confirmed without material change,
and cOnstruc ton arrangements so far perfected
that little remains to be done before the OPEN
ing Of spring. Terminal facilities have been
secured in Fargo, and are SO near the Fargo
Il Southern depot that the suspicion is awak-
ened that the Milwaukee road figures in the
construction Of the new line. Minnesota 4.
Dakota officials deny this conclusively, and
there is no doubt that the corporation, as hith-
erto stated, is separate and distinct from any
railway line and an independent association
of Massachusetts capitalists. The grading con-
tract as let is for single track from Fargo one
hundred and fifty-two miles due northwest to
a point fifteen miles west Of New Rockford
in Wells county, passing through the three
established towns Of Ottawa. Sherbrooke and
New Rockford. The only noteworthy devia-
ton from the original survey will be turn to
the south Of half a mile to bring the first
crossing Of the James east instead of west of
New Rockford, which will obviate the necss-
sity Of bridging the James twice and the
Sheyenne once. As stated by General Man.
ger Britton, it is the intention Of the company
to survey from New Rockford to the Missouri
in the spring and have the road in operation
the entire distance in time to remove next sea-
sons crop. Vice President and Secretary E..
H. Cutler has gone to Wi'braham, Mass, and
will conclude the final financial adjustment Of
the company immediately.-Neao Rockford

The Manitoba Extension.


Talking the other day with President Hill, of
the Manitoba, he told me something about the
country through which the extension Of his
road passes that 4 thlnk VIII be equally y3aew to
you. It had been generally supposed that
while Montana was an excellent country
for grazing purposes, it possessed little or no
agricultural land, except in the Gallatin valley.
Mr.. Hill says this is mistake, as In the Milk
and Sun river valleys as fine farming land ex-
lists as could be desired. But this was not the
most significant part of his talk. He further
informed me that within twelve miles Of
Great Falls, Montana, there was deposit of
iron ore thirty feet wide, and right near it
were also deposits Of coal and limestone. The
coal, he says, is not the ordinary Ignite with
which the people of Dakota and Montana are
so familiar, but excellent hard bituminous
coal. Nature has thus provided three of her
greatest treasures in close proximity to each
other. The immense deposits are waiting for
some one to develope them, and the Manitoba
is doing its part by running branch out to
them. The Importance Of these mines to the
people of Montana cannot be over estimated,
and they are equally important potentially to
the people Of St. Paul. I also learn from Mr.
Hill that Great Falls is a town with future
before it of exceeding promise. 1t has very
good water power, and is growing rapidly.
There is hardly such thing as the far West

Indemnity (sranta

WASHINGTON, Dec 1l.-Instpad of deciding
the case himself, Secretary Lamar has sent the
Northern Pacific land question to the attorney
general for a construction of tho joint resolu
ton Of May 30, 1870. In tho letter transmit
ting the case to the attorney general the
secretary propounds the following question:
Does the joint resolution above referred to
authorize second indemnity of lands pro-
vided by the charter Of 1854? Second, il YOU
decide the above question in the affirmative,
will you answer this: Can lands in the first
belt be taken for losses outside the state or
territory In which the indemnity lands lie?
The matter has been referred to Solicitor
General Jenks, whose views ON this matter
have been expressed while assistant secretary
Of tho interior. This disposition is very satis-
factory to the officials Of the road as 1t is be-
lieved the decision will be in favor of the
validity of the second indemnity withdrawal.
Gen. Mcknight, general counsel of the North
ern Pacific, has had conference with the
solicitor general in regard to both questions
Involved. However the question may be de-
cided, both the secretary of the interior and
his law advisors express the opinion that pur-
chasers In the second indemnity belt can find
relief under the law of 1887 the same as il
these lands were in the first indemnity with
